“Bobby had a wonderful stay with Melissa, excellent communication throughout his stay with photos and videos too. Thankyou for taking care of Bobby and I would recommend Melissa to friends and family”
“We would highly recommend Charlotte if you’re looking for a sitter, she was absolutely great from organising a meet and greet and providing regular updates while we were away. Olive had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“What a lovely, friendly family! Carmen and Adina were very welcoming and were fabulous with Jake (cat). Jake looked happy and settled in the pictures we recieved. Jake didn't seem to want to come home. We would 100% recommend Carmen and Adina to others. We would also use their services again in the future with our pets :)”
“Jessica and James have been so helpful and accommodating for us and our anxious doggy! They were happy to see us for an initial meet and greet in a local park and then arrange a one night stay-over at short notice, as we wanted to check our dog would cope in a new place, in advance of our main summer holiday booking. They kept us very well-informed with messages, photos and videos, which really helped reassure us that all was going well. Lovely couple. Recommended! 👍”
“Armish did an exceptional job caring for Dante while I was away on holiday. Leaving a pet is always stressful, especially when they require extra attention and strict rest, but Armish provided complete peace of mind from start to finish. Communication throughout the week was outstanding, featuring prompt daily updates alongside wonderful photos and videos that kept me completely reassured. Every instruction was followed meticulously, from managing Dante's specific routine and feeding schedule to handling his crate-rest needs with immense gentleness and care. Dante took to Armish immediately, staying calm, relaxed, and comfortable the entire time. Returning home to a content and happy cat made all the difference. I cannot recommend Armish highly enough to anyone in search of a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter, and I will certainly be booking again for future trips!”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter look no further!!! Dawn went above and beyond making sure our Bear was well looked after when we went away!! It was super hot and she made sure Bear was kept cool! She made him a home from home and kept us updated through with pictures! She has been great at communicating from our initial enquiry to picking bear up! Seriously could not fault, we will absolutely use Dawn again!”
“Would 100% recommend Julie as a sitter to anyone!! Such a lovely woman, attention to detail was second to none and nothing was too much of a problem. Our 8 yr old dachshund Draco can be a bit of a handful, but she was amazing with him and he clearly had such a lovely week with Julie as he’s been pining for her since he got home! We got lots of photos and regular updates which was lovely to see, he had lots of walks & little outings, like his own holiday. We even had an issue on day 2 where our arranged care for our other dachshund Luna was no longer an option, and Julie took her on for the rest of the week as well! I had nothing to worry about in terms of their care all week as they were clearly so well looked after and loved. I will absolutely be rebooking with Julie for future stays, a little home from home for both our dogs 💕”
“Our Tibetan Terrier spent the weekend with Ericka while we were away. Ericka was very professional from a great first meet and greet to regular updates during and a debrief at the end. Our dog is a bit nervous but Ericka took everything on with grace. Her love for dogs really shone through the whole time. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Thank you so much Artur for looking after Syd with so much love & attention. I was a little apprehensive leaving her but I needn’t be as she looked so contented on the photos you forwarded with daily updates. I highly recommend Artur who clearly has a passion caring for dogs , Syd loved staying with him, again many thanks.”
About: I have had dogs since I can remember, starting with my 2 childhood boxer dogs who then went through to birth 2 litters of puppies (18 in total). Since then I have had around another 5 dogs and now I often look after my sister’s 3 year old labradoodle and my friends 3 month old ridgeback! I have lots of experience with dogs and will always respect your personal needs I’m currently full time, however most days have early finishes, which sometimes leaves me some spare time in the evenings (mon-fri) and I am free most weekends I won’t take pets in to my home as I don’t really have enough space, I also do not have an outdoor space. In someone else’s space, I will ask what is possible and follow those instructions
“Our one year old Labrador really seemed to settle on his boarding with Louisa. Her flat is perfect for a dog that loves outdoor space and Louisa’s communication before and during the stay was excellent. Would highly recommend.”
“Charlotte was very helpful with a last minute booking and great with my Dachshund pup! He’s very nervous with new people but had a great time. Thanks again Charlotte!”
“First time leaving Jasper with someone for our long weekend away, great correspondence with enough updates to know he was having a great time without us. Highly recommend. Will be using Haley again in the future.”
“From the moment we met Marcello he was lovely, polite and switched on, and more importantly our staffy Gizmo loved him straight away. He was lovely and confident with Gizmo, who can be boisterous at times, but that didn’t phase Marcello who clearly liked him and was at ease. We had a meet & greet beforehand where Marcello showed us his lovely flat where Giz would be staying for the day, then once we had dropped Gizmo off, we had pictures through the day of Gizmo on his walks, sleeping and generally having a wonderful time. We felt confident that Gizmo was well looked after all day and would strongly recommend Marcello for anyone looking to have their pet in good hands 👍🏼”
“Ádám had ozzy for a long weekend and he was great, Ozzy loved his stay and we had regular photos and videos of his stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking a dog boarder. Thanks again”
“Derry had such a great time with Rebecca! She was so easy to communicate with, asked all the right questions before his weekend visit and provided so many photos of him enjoying his weekend with them. She was very flexible and communicative with pickup and drop off. Derry came home happy and exhausted which tells me he had a great time. I would definitely let Derry stay with Rebecca again and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Cody is absolutely lovely. She came to the house for a meet and greet prior to looking after my cat. She kept me up to date every day, took pictures and did her best to spend time with Penny however she was a little too shy. I would 100% book Cody again.”
“Fast replies and sent photos of my 2 cats whenever she visited (all amazing photos) I will definitely be asking her to catsit again and will recommend to anyone looking!!”
“Tamsin was really good with our shy cat! He has been a bit out of sorts since moving house but Tamsin was really respectful of his boundaries and I knew he was in safe hands 😊 Will definitely be rebooking with her again next time! Thanks again 🥰”
“Izzy was great and sent me routine photos and updates. The cats were very happy and calm around her and the shy one even came out for pets. Wil use Izzy again”
“Armish was a great sitter for our cats. Daily updates which is what we all needed. Cats were given treats, given play time and cuddles. Thank you again for your service will definitely be using again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for almost 10 years. Everytime my friends or their family members had a holiday break, they would call me. I have taken care of multiple cats at once and even cats and dogs at the same time (given that they live in the same family).
“Once again olivia took great care of our cat called beauty. We feel we can go away and leave beauty in olivias care without any worries at all. Beauty does enjoy olivias company and it is clear olivia enjoys hers . Thank you olivia.”
About: Hi. I’m a professional, qualified actuary based here in Leeds city centre. I have experience dog sitting for a range of dogs (including senior citizens). I’m hoping to build relationships with a few local dogs (and their owners!) for sitting and walking services. I’m located close to Leeds train station and typically head along the canals for walks. I work full time although my work is flexible with when and where I work meaning I can typically adapt my schedule to your needs. I’m very patient and I have cared for nervous dogs in the past so I’m used to quickly building trust with them. I enjoy walks around Leeds city centre or further afield in Yorkshire on the weekend. I live with my partner who is equally caring and loving of dogs.
“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and the whole experience could have been smoother. Katrina gave us peace of mind and constant communication. Our cats, who do not like strangers a lot, warmed up to her pretty quickly. When we came home they were relaxed and obviously well cared for. Thank you katrina - will definitely seek your service again”
“Isabel was fantastic! She kept us updated everyday with how our little furries were doing with photos and videos. This really gave us peace of mind as this was the longest we had been away from the cats. Nothing was too much trouble. Your cats are in safe hands with her. They were super relaxed when we came back. We will definitley use her again.”
“Hazal was great and our cat was very comfortable with her. She provided updates including photos & videos which really gave me peace of mind. Communication was great and both myself and the cat were super happy. ”
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Banana. We requested her at fairly short notice and she was available and very accommodating in meeting Banana and collecting the house key. Banana was very content during our weekend away and Becca was great at sending updates. Would recommend Becca and will definitely be asking again!”
“Pooja is very professional and very sweet with my Evie we went to our nieces wedding very stress free knowing my Evie was in good hands. Definitely l with book Pooja for my next Adventure (vacation ) trip.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have always loved being around them. I’ve lived with and regularly cared for my housemate’s cat, Truffle, and I’ve also cat-sat Cora and Leo while their owners were away. Over the summer and holiday periods, I often look after pets for friends and clients when they travel. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter trays, playtime, cuddles, companionship and following each cat’s usual routine. I know cats all have very different personalities, so I’m happy to give them plenty of affection or simply their own space, depending on what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also always happy to send regular photos and updates while you’re away. 🐱
“As usual Justyna gave lots of updates and made us feel confident Tinker was being well looked after. She is reliable and was able to help us out last minute when we had a change of plans!”
“Thomas is amazing with our puppy. He always follows our instructions and will check in if anything is unclear. From his updates our puppy looks like he is having the best time! Thank you Thomas ❤️”

About: I grew up with a Sheltie and a mixed-breed dog, and through years of living closely with them, I developed a deep understanding of animals' emotional and physical needs. This lifelong bond has shaped the way I care for every pet, treating them with the same love and attention I would give my own. In addition to my own dogs, I've cared for many breeds including Dobermans, Corgis, Poodles, Huskies, and Border Collies, as well as cats. I always aim to create a safe, happy, and loving environment for each pet while their owners are away. Your pets are in experienced, caring hands! I work from home and am available to provide dedicated pet care. Your pets will receive my full attention, with flexible scheduling for walks, visits, and cuddles! There would be no other pets in the my accommodation, ensuring a peaceful environment and avoiding any potential pet conflicts. When staying with pets, I make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe - I aim to provide same love and care to your pets as you provided for them. I will stick to their usual routines, from feeding times to favourite toys and sleeping spots. I will also ensure they get plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and, of course, affection, just as if they were my own.
“Grace and Sam have looked after Norman for the last two days and it’s safe to say he has loved every second! Grace was so reassuring and sent lots of photos and updates. They both clearly love dogs and we are so pleased we have found them, Norman is already booked in for next month! Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you both so much!”
“Christian was very accommodating and my dog went away happily to spend the day without a glance back. Grateful for the support while I went to work knowing he was being cared for”
“Julie was amazing with my puppy Luna, and I could clearly see that Luna was having such a lovely time whilst boarding! Julie walked her loads, gave her loads of attention and looked after her so well. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates too which was so nice. Will definitely look to Julie again for future sitting. Thank you!”
“Hattie has been amazing! This was the first time I’d ever used daycare for my dog Stan so I was a bit nervous and Hattie really helped put my mind at ease from the start. Hattie is flexible, responsive, experienced and sends lots of photos and updates during the day, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, Stan loves it and was clearly happy to go back! We're really glad we found her 🐶”
“Rachel is really sweet and friendly and was super understanding about Vera’s needs and requirements! She was kind and kept us updated with photos! Would 100% use again. Vera was very comfortable being around Rachel.”
“I was a little apprehensive leaving my 15 week old pup as I’m a first time dog owner and I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve also found some of the responses on here a little flakey from some so it was a refreshing change to have Justyn answer texts and be great with communication and really reassuring. We did a meet and great and Theo really took to her. I left Theo with Justyna for a full day whilst I was at work and she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos. He has had a very busy day socialising with her dogs and going for walks. He has come home and gone straight to bed. He is a very content pup. Justyna is lovely and she is great with animals and I really felt my gorgeous boy Theo was in safe hands! Thank you Justyna for being the perfect person to look after Theodore!”
“Adelita was great with my dog Sheroo, he enjoyed his day with her and had no issues when we left. Adelita is very calm and obviously loves dogs and she is super caring and kind in her approach. Very professional and reliable, will definitely use her again, thanks so much.”
“Fantastic. Deidre looked after my Italian Greyhound beautifully. She got two walks, a doggy friend to play with, and loads of cuddles. Deidre kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. Thanks so much!”
“Sprout had the best day with Laura and her Whippet! She even let Laura give her belly rubs which she only does when she’s super comfortable. I was really happy with the amount of updates and photos. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“First visit. Thomas has a quiet, calm manner which suits my dog, Freddie. He took him to Roundhay Park where Freddie walked happily. Freddie spent the afternoon snoozing and when I picked him up, he was pleased to see me but had apparently been settled and content with Thomas.”
“Right from the start, I knew Hugo would be well looked after by Dawn and her family. She made us both feel welcome and instantly relaxed. She sent lots of photos and videos and kept me updated on Hugo’s day. He’s a big dog with lots of energy but Dawn embraced this, walked and played with him and let him rest when he needed it. You can see how much Dawn genuinely loves dogs and always talks about the other dogs she looks after by name which shows that this is a passion for Dawn and not just a job. I will absolutely be booking Dawn again”
“Hannah and their flatmate were amazing looking after my Dachshund pup! He’s very nervous around new people so I was a bit worried, but he settled in quickly and had a great time! Highly recommend :)”
“Rachel is amazing, would highly recommend! Very calm and patient when introducing the dogs and happy to work around them. Felt completely at ease leaving Toby and he was well taken care of. He clearly had fun as he is now snoring his head off! 😂”
About: I’m a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter with experience looking after dogs and cats for family and friends. I also have my own dog, Freddie, a very sweet and friendly Cockapoo. 🐶 Having a dog who experiences separation anxiety has taught me how important it is to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality and routine. I know that every pet is different, and I’ll always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and at home. I’m currently available full-time, so when your pet stays with me, they won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply lots of cuddles and attention. ❤️ I live in a comfortable house with a secure, fenced garden, and we’re just a 10-minute walk from Burley Park, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. As Freddie is part of our family, I can only accept dogs who are comfortable and friendly around other dogs when staying in our home. I’m also happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so you can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone. I’ll keep you regularly updated with photos and videos throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for. I’d love to welcome your pet into our home and give them plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am currently available full time to take care of your furry loved ones!

He is very friendly and gentle with other dogs, so if they enjoy being around other dogs, they’ll have a great time together!

“Caitlin has been so wonderful in looking after our doggo. Its a relief to know he is walked and fed and cared for. I get great updates and communication is very easy with her. Thanks Again 🥰”
About: I’ve had had dogs all my life, (all breed sizes). I used to take care of my friends dogs and cats when they were on holidays since I can remember. I even volunteered to pet sit a neighbor’s dog when I was 5, (I basically forced him to lend me his dog because I used to love him and I didn’t have one). My last dog was a golden retriever, I have experience with her arthritis and I did massages and therapy for her. I have taken care of multiple dogs at a time and I don't mind sharing the bed or letting them sleep wherever they need. I have a park next to my house and I live in a convenient distance to the bus and train station in case you are looking to drop them on your way there. I can fit my schedule around any need, if they are more comfortable indoor I can also make activities with treats or frozen foods to stimulate them. Depending on your needs. I am fllexible with long walks, or multiple short walks. I can prepare activities and games for them to stay active inside as well, like frozen fruit or hiding treats around the house. I can brush their hair and teeth. Anything that you may need to pamper them and have an easy time while being away from you. I am not an official trainer but I've trained my own dogs always for potty and the casual paw and sit tricks. I am also available for phone calls 24/7.

About: Whether your dog is a zoomies champion, a professional napper or a bit of a diva, I’m here to give them the best care while you’re away. I’ve got experience with dogs, having grown up with them so know what’s involved in ensuring they are happy and wagging their tails away! I live in a house with a secure garden and close to a local park so they’ll have lots of places to be able to play and explore. I’d love to be able to support you and can promise I’ll give your dog the best care and cuddles while they’re with me! I work from home on Fridays, and I can also offer boarding or care over the weekend. My life is very dog-friendly and your pup would fit right in! I have a secure, fenced garden that your dog can explore and roam in safely as much as they’d like. I’d want to ensure that your dog felt as at-home with me as possible. I have the space in my home to be able to crate your dog if needed, and room for them to have their own cosy space in the home.
About: I am a reliable, trust worthy person which is shown from having worked as a doctor for 2 years. I spent a vast amount of my time around my relative and friends dogs since childhood, and love the companionship dogs provide. I have provided dog sitting both during the day and overnight for a variety of dogs and am confident in looking after them for extended periods. I’m currently working part time as a bank doctor which means I am able to pick and choose when I work. I am therefore available 7/7 days a week at any time and will book shifts around my dog sitting. I live in a flat that is dog proof. I will spend the majority of the time with the dogs on walks and at the park, but will also be able to keep dogs in the flat and overnight if needed
About: Hi Everyone, I’m Sophie! Me and my family adopted my dog Ellie all the way back in 2013 from a rescue shelter in Greece and she will be turning 13 next June, as well as this over the years I have taken care of family friends pets for example taking them for walks and staying overnight in the house or even just popping in to make sure that they’re okay, although still being young at 21 years old, i’ve been surrounded by dogs by entire life, I used to attend puppy classes when Ellie was younger, helping train her up with recall and general behaviour, as well as this i would consider myself knowledgeable in the emotional side of dogs, if they’re feeling down or anxious I have taught myself by experience and research how I can help, I am currently in the process of looking into completing a level 2 qualification linked to dogs needs I love to have fun on walks, going to see new places with your pooch, playing fetch with there ball or even just enjoying a brisk stroll :) I am a university student however I am only in university 2 to 3 days a week being off Mondays and Tuesdays and having availability all weekend but even in the days that I am there I am free morning times and most days apart from that available after 3 pm However for plans such as check ins for your pet I am available any day of the week to do that in the mornings, please just let me know what your arrangements are and i can work around them For overnight care, I am also available any day of the week, my only thing to note is that a few days a week I would have to leave your residence early after the following day for university, This would only be on Thursdays and Fridays, so if that’s the case it may be important to see if somebody else can pop in for them in that time gap which is normally around 12-3 pm But the rest of the days, and also holidays such as easter, I would be able to stay as long as required Your dog is my first priority! When taking care of pets in their owners home i’d like to make sure that it feels just like their owner never left, by knowing the dogs needs and what they require as I know a lot of dogs can get very anxious when their owners are away, if they feel comfortable sleeping on the bed with me then I’m perfectly happy for that and any specific place that they would want to go outside of the house. I’m happy to attend to. Before agreeing to pet sitting I am happy to come over and view the house to make sure you think id be a good fit for your dog and that they feel comfortable being in the house with me, I think its important to make sure that we bond well together to put your mind at ease
“Our dog adores Liam, always happy to see him. Liam brings with home many years of living with dogs and academic qualifications, not only is he giving our dog the daytime exercise and attention he needs, but also experience on how to raise and train a puppy. Thank you Liam”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years. In addition to looking after my own, I've been trusted by friends and family to feed, check in on, and walk many of their pets. I am experienced with a range of personalities, behaviours and temperaments, and I always make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule. Whatever your pet needs, I can tailor my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to work around it in whatever way is best. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pet requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow instructions to ensure a comfortable environment for your pet. I treat yours and their home with respect, and make sure your pet receives plenty of care. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos to give you a peace of mind.
“Charlotte & Josh were fantastic with our 2 labradors. Right from the start they understood their needs and were very responsive to how they liked to be walked & what would suit them best, keeping them local to the routes they knew to make sure they were happy. They fed back straight away and asked questions where they were unsure of anything. Very happy to use weekly. .”
“Eloise was very good with Hovis. She spent time beforehand getting to know Hovis and asked about about any specific requirements. She provided me with lots of photos when they were out on the walk.”
“Katrina was absolutely amazing. The girls loved her, were excited to see her and were happy when they came home, even aida who can be shy around strangers! Great communication, photos from their walks of the dogs happy and content which made us at ease that they were comparable with her! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of my two girls, making it so stress free and getting two well exercised and happy dogs home after their walks! Would definitely reccomend Katrina to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets, she has an amazing connection with animals which is lovely to see. Thanks again from me and the girls!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals, having both a cat and a dog of my own, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Since living in Leeds, I’ve regularly walked dogs for clients, including Kevin and Macey, building trusted relationships with both the dogs and their owners. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I lived with my housemate’s cat, Truffle, who I frequently looked after, and I’ve cat-sat Cora and Leo while their owners were away. Over the summer and holiday periods, I regularly pet sit for friends and clients when they travel, so I’m comfortable taking responsibility for pets for longer periods as well as shorter visits and walks. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship and following each pet’s individual routine. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates while owners are away! 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine and I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m also available during weekends, lunchtime and holiday periods. I love being outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely enjoy rather than just a job! I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and can discuss timings with owners depending on what they need. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication or any individual needs. I’m respectful of people’s homes and make sure pets are safe, comfortable and given plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾

I’ll always follow feeding instructions carefully, including any dietary restrictions, medications, or special routines. I’m very patient, attentive, and calm in stressful situations, and your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always come first. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so my goal is always to make them feel loved, safe, and cared for just like they would be at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend(s)! 🐾 I currently work full time, but I still have flexible availability for pet care! I’m available for weekends, evenings/nights, and before-work visits. I can also do midday drop-ins during the work week depending on location/proximity. I’m always happy to discuss schedules and do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s needs whenever possible. Leaving your pet with me is a responsibility I take very seriously. Their safety, comfort, and wellbeing will always be my top priority throughout my time with them. I make sure every pet is well cared for, properly fed, loved, and kept happy and relaxed while you’re away. I always go the extra mile to ensure pets feel secure and settled in my care, and I pay close attention to their individual routines, needs, and personalities.

“Christian was great and really helped us with dog walking during some busy days we had here! He was super kind to Fondant, and showed up everyday at the agreed time, even on discouraging rainy days.”
About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with three dogs, two mixed Indian Spitz and one mixed Border Collie taught me how to understand and meet different needs, from energetic playtime to gentle senior care. Friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets. I’m committed to ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy starting the day with a walk, playtime, or feeding, and I make time throughout the day for companionship, exercise, and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to be available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, so I can adjust to each dog’s needs whether that means multiple walks, grooming, or simply keeping them company at home. Caring for dogs isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment with no children and a small outdoor space for fresh air and play. I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, regular walks, fresh water, healthy meals, and plenty of attention. For pets I care for in an owner’s home, I follow their established routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I maintain feeding and walking schedules, offer playtime and affection, and ensure their living space stays clean. My priority is always the pet’s well-being, happiness, and safety whether they’re with me or in their own familiar surroundings.
About: I grew up alongside with animals which makes me passionate and experienced into taking care of animals such as rabbits, cats, and dogs. I am used to looking after cats and dogs. I am an university student who is away from home and from my three lovely cats, I am now looking for opportunities where I can spend time with dogs and cats-something I really enjoy doing, and hoping to earn some living cost along the way of this process. I am a reliable and friendly person, and also has a flexible schedule, I am happy to take up enquires anytime, to tailor made to your needs. My availabilities covers weekends, evenings, and holidays, drop me a text to work out timings! I am someone who is attentive to details. I take pride in being observant about the surroundings and your pet's situation to keep everyone safe! If the service occurs in your residence, I take extra precautions to make sure your home is secured, with doors and windows secured as I enter and leave your home. I encourage my clients to schedule a time before the first care session whenever possible to make sure all details about your house and your pet's habits can be taken care of. For instance, I have experience taking care of pets with a tendency to run out of doors/ windows, or dogs that are still learning to walk on leash.

I highly recommend Artur who clearly has a passion caring for dogs , Syd loved staying with him, again many thanks.”
“Our one year old Labrador really seemed to settle on his boarding with Louisa. Her flat is perfect for a dog that loves outdoor space and Louisa’s communication before and during the stay was excellent. Would highly recommend.”
“Charlotte was very helpful with a last minute booking and great with my Dachshund pup! He’s very nervous with new people but had a great time. Thanks again Charlotte!”
“From the moment we met Marcello he was lovely, polite and switched on, and more importantly our staffy Gizmo loved him straight away. He was lovely and confident with Gizmo, who can be boisterous at times, but that didn’t phase Marcello who clearly liked him and was at ease. We had a meet & greet beforehand where Marcello showed us his lovely flat where Giz would be staying for the day, then once we had dropped Gizmo off, we had pictures through the day of Gizmo on his walks, sleeping and generally having a wonderful time. We felt confident that Gizmo was well looked after all day and would strongly recommend Marcello for anyone looking to have their pet in good hands 👍🏼”
“Ádám had ozzy for a long weekend and he was great, Ozzy loved his stay and we had regular photos and videos of his stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking a dog boarder. Thanks again”
“Derry had such a great time with Rebecca! She was so easy to communicate with, asked all the right questions before his weekend visit and provided so many photos of him enjoying his weekend with them. She was very flexible and communicative with pickup and drop off. Derry came home happy and exhausted which tells me he had a great time. I would definitely let Derry stay with Rebecca again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Thank you for looking after Benny. Lovely to hear that he and the cats became friends and that he snuggled himself right in and felt at home. He's already looking forward to the next time.”
“We left our sight hound with Barry while we went on an extended holiday. Our dog got on really well with his Saluki and it seemed to have as much a holiday as we did. Barry left regular updates and pictures and we could see how much fun they were having. I'd be more than happy to leave our pets with Barry on the future!”
“Deirdre and Liam were absolutely amazing with our Hachi. He immediately felt comfortable and settled with them, and we received lots of lovely photos and updates of Hachi having a wonderful time and receiving lots of care and attention. Hachi actually cried on the way home as he missed them! Thank you both so much! 😊”
